My guess is that because you're eating a breakfast that's basically a
big hunk of carbohydrate and no fat and little protein, what's
happening is that mid-morning, your blood sugar starts dropping as the
rapidly-burned carbs are gone, and then you're starving.

I'd try eating something that's more protein (and possibly fat) based
and try to eliminate the carbs, and see what happens. Like... have a
couple of hard-boiled eggs. Or some cheese. Something like that,
which has protein and fat but no sugars.

It might not work for you, because everyone's metabolism is different,
but when I stopped eating cereal or bread and started eating things
like an egg and a slice of bacon, I stopped getting so hungry
mid-morning.

I totally agree about not making carbs (and by extension, sugars) the focus of breakfast. A couple of eggs rather than toast or cereal in the morning doesn't leave me feeling like I'm starving by lunch time. An egg scrambled with a little grated cheese and a couple of slices of bacon, even better (I love bacon!) :)
